My Project

In my cart I am requesting science, biology and chemistry items that will take my classroom from lecture and snoring to hands on fun. With games and STEM kits I hope to have my middle schoolers engaged in learning. I want them to play and learn all at the same time.

I am a special education science teacher.

I support Biology, Earth Science and even Chemistry. We are trying to give our middle schoolers a jump start by taking the regents in middle school. With all this hard work and learning I would like to bring more hands on fun to my kids. With these games and kits I hope to have my kids excited to come to the science room.

My students are hard working scholars trying to get these high school regents done early. Help me with their hard work and give them hands on experiences.
